Comment (by majelbstoat):

 Just to play Devil's advocate - it's the default theme, you can change it
 for any one of thousands of themes out there.  If you change your theme,
 you won't have to "have two fix these two by hand each update and get sick
 of it".  For my reading, the 'proudly' means WordPress is proud to run the
 blog, not that the blog is proud to be running WordPress.  That's neither
 here nor there though.  The XFN link was how I found out about XFN.  As
 regards the blogroll, the people on there (whether they are currently
 active or not) have put in large amounts of time to make a product that
 you're using for free.  An easily-removed link isn't too much to ask.
 Never mind that most of them are WordPress-centric anyway and are
 potentially useful sources of information on your new install.  If you
 don't want them there, remove them and they won't show up again.  I'd also
 argue that it encourages people to investigate the blogroll system.
 Adding links to help is a good idea though.

 Personally, I have no preference on all of this, I just think that both
 sides of the argument should be heard before any changes are made.
